The Sporades islands are beautiful, enchanting: 4 major islands and a handful of smaller islets, the magic is colored with emerald. Their characteristic is that they are all very green, covered with forests, orchards, vines and surrounded by waters that fade from green to blue, all close to each other. A cruise for everyone with short sailing and at the beginning of the season at their peak.

Skiatos where your fantastic sailing holiday begins. The crew will show you the boat. And the galley will already be stowed on board, you can enjoy total relaxation. Arrangement of luggage in the cabin before setting sail for your sailing cruise on the Sporades islands. After a short navigation we reach a beautiful bay for a peaceful anchorage.After breakfast we set sail for Skopelos. The translation of its name is "rock" but unlike the famous Cyclades Islands, Skopelos like its sisters in the group are very green. Common note of many other islands is the multitude of churches, churches and monasteries even without being a particularly religious island. Land and sea vie for the gaze, the turquoise bays, deep as fjords are covered with olive and cypress trees, pines and fruit trees. The coves in sand or gravel are not lacking next to clearings of fragrant fir trees that go down to the sea, we choose one for anchoring and we dedicate the day to swimming and relaxing.Limnos, of volcanic origin is quite mountainous, boasts large inlets and vertical cliffs, is the Aegean island with more coastal development than its surface. We visit the island and its beautiful bays. It has a very fertile land, ponds with flamingos, impressive dunes, deserted beaches bordered by high cliffs. Charming and authentic, a magical place with superb beaches, an uncontaminated landscape with coarse sand dunes that create spectacular scenery but also waterfalls. The land is fertile and the local people produce wine, honey and cheese, known since ancient times for their qualities.Lesbos, the island of women is a land that fascinates slowly. Little known perhaps for its size, perhaps because it is far from the classic tourist archipelago of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese. In ancient times he experienced an extraordinary cultural life and can boast of having given some of his greatest poets to the Greek world.Mitylini, the capital of the island, truly one of the most beautiful towns in Greece with a large bay, with the Renaissance domes of the basilica and the square profile of the Genoese castle behind it. It has the charm of a real small capital of an island full of art and poetry.

Yacht type

Grand Soleil 46

A holiday on board “Penne Bianche” is often defined by her guests as a “5 star sailing charter“.
Penne Bianche really is a “Owner’s boat” and not a “charter boat”: this means care and efficiency, impeccable cleanliness: only wooden interiors not plastic ones, furniture and accessories all cared for, as they would be on your own boat, equipment always working since the skipper is also the owner, always on board, deeply aware of all the mechanical systems on and able to resolve any problem. Just as her home.

PENNE BIANCHE is a Grand Soleil 46 built by the well-known Cantiere del Pardo, Forlì Italy.
Completely renovated and restored to maximum efficiency and beauty, this “lady of the sea” has always been admired on the docks for all its classic and detailed lines.

This sleek, streamlined yacht has a flush, all teak deck. She is fast but has great stability. She offers the maximun comfort to Greek sailing holidays lovers.
Penne Bianche is very well equipped with a watermaker, power inverter, generator and allows our guests cruise in perfect autonomy among the islands of the Aegean Sea where marinas and nautical facilities are poor.

Also constructed in fine teak, the luxurious interiors have been designed to offer the maximum room and comfort to 6-7 guests in three cabins. The fore master cabin has a double bed with a sofa that becomes a comfortable bed, with private head, toilet, basin shower and bidet. Astern there are two double cabins: one with a double bed and one with twin beds. A second head with toilet, basin and shower is shared but with separate access from the two cabins. The interiors are completed by a functional galley, a chart table and a spacious dinette that can host up to eight people and a sail locker.
